Re: [MOD 0.15.29+] Creative Mode 0.3.12 - Infinite resources

Is it possible to use the 0.17 upgrade planner with CM-specific items? Like mass-replacing steel chests with void chests, for example.

Re: Start-of-game compact combined minimart+research

This is pretty great! Early-game designs are often so much more interesting than late-game ones to me. I especially like how this one evolves a small bit. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Version 0.17.0

Switched key bindings from key codes to scan codes. This solves an issue with bad default key bindings on layouts that are not similar to US QWERTY (ie. AZERTY). :shock: Thank you so much! :D Switching from Dvorak back to QWERTY for just Factorio, and then back to Dvorak when I want to type a train...

Re: Full belt setup | All stages in a book

I like 'growable' malls. This is really neat, and I never would have thought to do it this way. Thank you for sharing! Also, I see in your gear blueprint that you're drawing from one iron belt, and supplying two gear belts. Since one gear is made from two iron plates, you'd probably be better off re...

if the value is a constant 8 it's full througput, if thoughput isn't full than it will fall to 7 or below.
How do you tell the difference between full throughput and a backed-up belt?

You mean the 3.2*5 = 16? Currently it's 3.5*5 = 17.5 (steel takes 5 iron plates)
No, I just replied too quickly. I was imagining a smelter consuming 3.2 ore, which struck me as funny. Should have thought before I posted, I suppose :D

As the smelting recipe change, I am proposing the following:
- Iron plate, copper plate, stone brick: 3.2
- Steel: 16
I can't tell if you're joking or not :D

EDIT: OH that's the crafting time. Never mind :)

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics

The greatest simplification would be rounded numbers for belt throughput. Calculating it manually is just so unnecessary complex right now with all those decimals... Until the belt throughput is changed, or in case they decide not to, you have a few options for removing decimals. You can think (40/...

Re: Friday Facts #265 - Nomenclature & Steam networking

I just finished the questionnaire. What a fun exercise! And I applaud your effort to increase consistency and reduce ambiguity. A couple of notes: For belts, I always use yellow , red , and blue to identify them. This feels sloppy, but it's terse and completely unambiguous. It's easy to forget wheth...

Re: Complete the game in 8 hours achievement - time for a change?

I think it's okay for some achievements to be more easily obtained than others. Does it not taste so much sweeter to finally conquer a difficult challenge, than to be handed an easy victory? I like that some achievements are earned for casually playing the game, some for fun little tasks, and some t...

Re: I somehow lost most of my blueprints?

I see that this was moved to the Technical Help forum. I'm not really looking for help fixing it, since I doubt that's possible.

I somehow lost most of my blueprints?

Hi! I accidentally saved over my megabase a while ago, so I decided to take a break from Factorio. Now that 0.16 is released, I'm ready to come back. I have NOT yet upgraded to 0.16, by the way; I'm still on 0.15.40. Unfortunately, most of my blueprints are gone. I thought that when I added blueprin...

Thank you so much for sharing these. I've been using several of them and really like them, especially the 2-belt smelting and steel.

Re: Underground belt lane splitting, anyone else hate it?

It's a bit hard to hate something that you don't need to do in your own game if you don't want to. I feel the same way. There are so many ways to solve the problem - filter inserters, logistic robots, or just don't put two things on the same belt - that there's no reason to hate it. I don't like th...

Very neat! I really like the racks you've been posting that share rows of beacons. Just curious, why did you decide to restrict yourself to copper + iron + plastic, rather than green + red circuits? Do you find it's easier to just keep circuits off of your bus, or was this just a fun experiment? Als...

Merging items with different health: Please do not. Could you instead add a mechanic to allow pocket repairs?
